Monthly Average Daily Global Solar Irradiation Maps For Uganda: A Location In The Equatorial Region
(Renewable Energy, 2012)
Proper sizing of solar energy systems is necessary in order to optimize their output. This requires a database of solar irradiation for locations for which the systems are being assessed. Solar irradiation data is also ...
Genetic evidence of successful establishment of the Nile perch (Lates spp. L.) in East African lakes and implications for management
(Management of Biological Invasions, 2012)
Nile perch establishment in novel ranges in East Africa is one of the most successful freshwater invasion stories in the recent history. It became ecologically dominant and well established in several lakes in the Lake ...
Important Woody Plant Species, their Management and Conservation Status in Balawoli Sub-county, Uganda
(Ethnobotany Research and Applications, 2012)
Woody plant species are threatened in Uganda. To conserve
these species there is need to generate information
that may be used to design management plans. This
study was conducted in Balawoli Sub-county, Kamuli
District, ...
Determinants Of Climate Change Adaptation Among Male And Female Headed Farm Households In Eastern Uganda
(African Crop Science Journal, 2012)
Adaptation is considered an appropriate response to climate change and variability, especially for the smallholder farmers. However, the response decisions and actions of male and female farmers may be influenced by various ...
Shortcomings Common to Real Remote Sensing Systems
(Academia, 2012)
Remote sensing technology and systems have grown more rapidly in the last two and half
decades. Advances in remote sensing systems have gained much attention from the academia,
researchers, disasters management specialists, ...
Wildlife damage and control methods around Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda
(International Journal of Pest Management, 2012)
This study documents the different management and control measures developed and implemented by farmers to
mitigate vertebrate pest attacks on crops and livestock around Lake Mburo National Park in Uganda. A semistructu ...
Trend and magnitude of changes in climate variables and reference evapotranspiration over 116-yr period in the Platte River Basin, central Nebraska–USA
(Journal of Hydrology, 2012)
Some studies that investigate the climate change and hydrologic balance relationships utilize reference
(potential) evapotranspiration (ETref) to either calculate the changes in trends and magnitude of actual
ET or to ...
Evaporative losses from a common reed-dominated peachleaf willow and cottonwood riparian plant community
(Water Resources Research, 2012)
Our study is one of the first to integrate and apply within-canopy radiation physics
parameters and scaling-up leaf-level stomatal resistace (rL) to canopy resistance (rc)
approach to quantify hourly transpiration (TRP) ...
Implications of Microfauna-Host Interactions for Trypanosome Transmission Dynamics in Glossina fuscipes fuscipes in Uganda
(Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2012)
Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are vectors for African trypanosomes (Euglenozoa: kinetoplastida), protozoan parasites that
cause African trypanosomiasis in humans (HAT) and nagana in livestock. In addition to ...
Land use changes on the slopes of Mount Elgon and the implications for the occurrence of landslides
(Catena, 2012)
A reconstruction of land use changes and the implications thereof for landslide occurrence on critical slopes
of Mount Elgon in Eastern Uganda were undertaken. Aerial photographs taken in 1960 formed the benchmark
for ...
